In 1992, Russian author Victor Pelevin wrote a book called A Werewolf Problem in Central Russian federation and Other Stories, in which there is a brusque story called "Prince of Gosplan". The story is greatly influenced past the game; the primary hero of the story lives in a mixed reality of the real globe and video games and identifies himself as Prince of Persia.

The feel of the gameplay in Tomb Raider was intended to evoke that of the original Prince of Persia.[62]

The Assassin's Creed series originated out of ideas for a sequel for Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. Its critical and financial success led Ubisoft to request Ubisoft Montreal to develop a sequel, aiming for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. The Ubisoft Montreal squad decided on taking the gameplay from The Sands of Time into an open world arroyo, taking advantage of the improved processing ability to return larger spaces and crowds. Narratively, the team wanted to move away from the Prince being someone adjacent in line for the throne but to have to piece of work for it; combined with research into hole-and-corner societies led them to focus on the Assassins, heavily borrowing from the novel Alamut.[63] They developed a narrative where the player would control an Assassin that served as a bodyguard for a non-playable Prince, leading them to call this game Prince of Persia: Assassinator. The "Animus" device allowed them to explain certain facets of gameplay, such every bit accounting when the player fails a mission, in the same way they had done in The Sands of Time.[63]
